Hi all.I'm new to web design (less than 1 year of exp) but I'm really passionnate about it.I spend 90% of my time reading stuff, trying to make websites, watching Nelson tutorials (:D), etc...I'm 100% sure that Webflow is a great opportunity to become a freelance webdesigner.However, my knowledge in webdesign is still quiet bad and I don't know how I can improve it.Do you guys know some good courses that will help me to improve?My family and friends can't help me having an objective point of view concerning my work, because they don't know what web design is.So now, I'm a bit confuse, I don't know if I will be able to be a web designer some day and what is the minimum "level" required to start freelancing.Can someone help me please ?Thank you very much,Best,Blaise

Hello @Blaise_Posmyouck, have you tried the AWWARDS website? They have great inspiration fot websites. Would also check out flat templates. It is the most recent style and you could learn a lot from a professionals work on what they do and don't do... Hope this helped...

A great way to be better is to try and copy others designs that you like. For practice that is. That way you will learn how to do things and while you're at it tweak it to your likings. And like in most branches its trial and error. When I look back at my first attempts … man… .

Copying designs is a great way to learn. Creating goals for yourself is also good. Say you want a new landing page for your personal website. Plan it, design it on paper and then execute your plan. Once you're done with a landing page, design a 3 page website, then a 5 page website...

But besides that practical learning, Design is about references. Study Art and Art History. Follow designers you like. Learn the vocabulary, learn about color theory, flat design vs. skeuomorphism, learn about form and function; read good books...

All of this sounds obvious but you can be an expert technician of webdesign and still design ugly and even dysfunctional websites.

I had an architecture professor who used to say "you won't become a Beethoven, if all you listen to is the latest crappy pop music"...

Hello everyone!
I was recently introduced by Daily UI by @Waldo which will help you to become a much better designer in 100 days. Every day (excluding weekends) you will receive an email from Daily UI with a design prompt. [smiley]
You will interpret and design the UI element. Once you have finished, you can share it on Dribbble or Twitter tagging it with #dailyui and the number (#001). Users will then be able to give you feedback and you will improve your skills!
I'm doing it, @Waldo is …

@Blaise_Posmyouck I have only just started with the challenge, I'm currently working on the fourth challenge.

You will get one design challenge every day excluding weekends, of course it's entirely up to you if you want to complete the challenge or not.. I will update my progress each time I finish a challenge.

It will be better for you to read some online tutorials like Nelson tutorials and E-books which are readily available in market. One of my friend recommended me to read one E-book in where we can get important points that are effective for designing a website.

Biggest inspiration that worked for me in my early days of 3d design was passion. If you have the passion, you will succeed. Now I rival the pros and even surpassed some of my favorite render artists. So having climbed that mountain, here I am in the web design world. Still trying to grasp it fully, but I am enjoying it.
